You asked

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I’d be grateful if you could help me with the following about government procurement card spending.

  1. Please provide me with a breakdown of the department’s spending via government procurement cards, in annual breakdown over the years 2015/2016/2017, listing how much was spent in each year.

  2. Please include in this breakdown the amount charged on each occasion over 2015/2016/2017, when it was charged, and what it was for. Please include detail like if any department trips, what the name of the hotel was, or any food – what the brand/restaurant was, as is feasible within cost/time limits.
